THE MEANING OF YOUR LIFE

Meaning in life is getting harder to find—and there’s a reason for that. In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur Brooks explains how rapid societal and technological changes have rewired our brains, making them ill-equipped to handle questions of existential reckoning. The resulting emptiness is not imaginary, and it is life-destroying for some, especially for young people. Fortunately, there's hope. With compassion, clarity, and practicality, Brooks tells you exactly what you need to do to move toward meaning. You'll take a test to determine where you are on your meaning journey, learn evidence-based tactics for rewiring your brain for complex and abstract concepts, and discover a vocabulary for your desires. Most importantly, Brooks will show you where to search for the transcendence, vocation, and significance that are your birthright as a human being.

MI REVOLUCION ANTICANCER (BOL)

Un libro emotivo, lleno de positivismo y buenos consejos para afrontar el cáncer. Este libro va a quitarle el estigma negativo a la palabra cáncer: cáncer no es igual a muerte, dolor o sufrimiento. Este libro va a dar esperanza: por eso tiene una cara amable y positiva que va a hacer que a las personas que lo lean les salga una sonrisa desde el primer minuto. Las personas que estén deprimidas o nerviosas por la quimio van a encontrar páginas donde recuperar la sonrisa. Hay páginas que solo servirán para ser arrancadas y soltar la rabia, otras para garabatear con fuerza y así eliminar la ira, mientras que otras se dedicarán simplemente a colorear para relajarse y encontrar la inspiración que todos necesitamos en nuestras vidas.

THE BOOK OF TWO WAYS

Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She’s on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, in which she helps ease the transition between life and death for her clients. But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened. And now, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances, she is not as sure of the choice she once made.

THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
